Description

This is a brainstorming issue for additional crates which could go in this repo.

  • ssh-cipher
  • ssh-derive
  • ssh-encoding
  • ssh-key
  • ssh-protocol
  • Others?

There is no current plan to provide a full SSH protocol in this repo, and we are only looking to provide common functionality which is useful for multiple SSH implementations and use cases outside full SSH protocol implementations, such as interoperating with the SSH key/certificate formats and providing linkage to the respective RustCrypto signing algorithm implementations.

However, with sufficient interest that may change.

Research direction

Review the listed crates—ssh-cipher, ssh-derive, ssh-encoding, ssh-key, and ssh-protocol—and the stated scope around common SSH functionality. The issue does not name a file, test, entry point, or specific additional crate, so completion criteria remain undefined.
